"Matt and Tyson were awesome. On time, professional, respectful of property, solved tricky sump pump install. Knew codes. Efficient, clean, good electronic system for appointments, reminders, etc."
"He bid the washer box install then was able to add the drain pipe increase. Very neat work. Added a clean out with the drain increase that was needed. Pleasant easy to work with, good communicator, good quality work done timely. Really appreciated the work"
"Joe and Marco did an amazing job! Great pricing, excellent communication, and outstanding customer service. They were professional, efficient, and did quality plumbing work. Highly recommend them!"
"The installers were very efficient and professional. The attic was very hot when they were installing the fan. They seem to be just fine with those conditions."
"Rooter Guys installed a sump pump in my basement after we began experiencing flooding. They rearranged their schedule in order to fit us in sooner given the urgency of the project. They were professional, hardworking and kept us informed throughout the process."
"I knew I needed my sewer to be done. I had 3 estimates and this company was fantastic! The quote was fair. Rocky Mountain is professional and trust worthy. Thought it was going to be a few day project. They got it done in one day and back in service! If you?re having drain or plumbing issues. Please call Rocky Mountain plumbing!"
"We heard a constant hum from the sump pump last evening and found the motor trying to run but nothing being pumped out. We pulled the plug and called for service. Joe found nothing wrong with the pump. A switch was turned off that should have been on and the outside drainpipe was frozen solid. We had not thought of the drainpipe as we knew the water pumped out a few days before as snow was melting. An unusually long cold spell caused freezing and pitch of the pipe was wrong at the end of the pipe. Joe was very knowledgeable and honest. He got things working again and gave us good information for the future. We will definitely use this business for future plumbing needs. We would recommend them to others. We felt the service fee was reasonable too."
"I needed a sump pump repair and received two quotes. Bulletproof Plumbing and Heating was cheaper by a couple of hundred dollars. They successfully performed the work as promised and I was impressed with the quality and customer service experience that I had Todd (the owner) quote another project to install new plumbing on a basement kitchenette we were installing. Again his quote was significantly lower than another quote I received and the end result was another quality project completed by his team. Since then I have used Todd and his team for a couple of other plumbing issues. He is very responsive to my texts/calls and it is comforting to know that he will always send the same plumber (Jesse) to address our issues. It is also nice to know that I can always count on Todd 24/7 to respond back to me and treat me as though I was his most important customer. His company is definitely is worth hiring to address your plumbing needs!!!"
"Found Denver Drain (DD) through Angie list and being an old salesman myself, I reached out to the first company that left a message; that was Jeanette from DD. They could have had someone out the next day, but to accommodate my schedule he was here in 3 days. JJ was professional, courteous, and respectful, and got the job done quickly. I highly recommend DD to anyone and they are now in my contact list as my plumber MW"
"Service tech arrived a few minutes early and got right to work. He diagnosed the problem very quickly and then replaced the sumo pump and waited until it had fully drained the sump pit. Overall excellent work!"
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
Every three to four months, you should clean any dirt and debris off of your sump pump. You should also check the inlet screen (at the bottom of the pump) to make sure that it isn’t blocked. On top of that, you should deep clean your sump pump once per year—or hire a sump pump pro to do it for you.
A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to move wastewater and solid waste to the municipal sewer or septic tank. However, for fixtures located below grade (e.g., in a basement), gravity is not sufficient.
The purpose of a sewage ejector pump is to actively pump this wastewater and solid waste upward into the main sewer line. Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement. If all of your home's plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity can handle the drainage, and an ejector pump is not needed.
A sump pump can be plugged into a regular, 110-volt outlet with three-prong openings, but it must have GFCI protections per the NEC, meaning you’ll need a GFCI outlet and circuit. Sump pumps require two outlet openings, one for the plug to the motor and one for the float switch.
First, you can try unplugging the two sump pump cords, one for the motor and one for the float switch, then plugging them back in to reset the sump pump. You can also reset the sump pump by turning it off and back on at the breaker. Many sump pumps have a reset button, which you can press and hold for a few seconds to reset the device.
Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.
